With all the analytical factors baked in - I think they've all been pretty close to equal going back to her win in the Golden Rod stakes as a 2yo.
I would probably give a slight edge to her performance in the Martha Washington Stakes as the one which I felt was best.
When you consider it was Hal Wiggins off of a layoff .. and there is no way anyone could not have the figure significantly faster than Eight Belles 13+ length romp in that race the prior year .. that was just mind blowing stuff.
I think you've basically just seen the very slight and steady progression of a healthy 3yo horse since that race.
